CLEVELAND, June 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- One of the great things about celebrating Father's Day is the opportunity to share some of the funny stories you and dad have accumulated over the years. This year, those stories can help you to become a big winner with AmericanGreetings.com, an American Greetings Corporation (NYSE: AM) company, and its special "Dad Libs" sweepstakes. Participants just need to complete the special Father's Day inspired game to become eligible to win one of 50 $100.00 Amazon.com Gift Cards, and the opportunity to take home the grand prize: a $1,000.00 Amazon.com Gift Card.

Entering the special sweepstakes is easy and fun. Participants pick from six "dad-inspired" stories and create their own funny interpretation by filling in the blanks to complete the plot. To help share these witty creations, all entries can also be posted to Facebook.

The sweepstakes is a great chance to win something for yourself, or, in the spirit of the season, something for dear old dad.

"We were really excited to be able to launch the sweepstakes now because we know it can be challenging to find the perfect gift for dad," said Michael Waxman-Lenz, senior vice president and general manager of AmericanGreetings.com. "Now consumers can have some fun by participating with our interactive game, and take their chance at winning a gift any dad will love. What could be better than that?"
